It’s easy to overlook Tim Herrin on a loaded Indiana pitching staff that features the second-best ERA in the nation. He isn’t flashy. He doesn’t strike out a ton of batters. He doesn't overpower many. But he’s quietly putting together a stretch as dominant as any pitcher on the Hoosiers staff.

After pitching a career-high six innings and fanning a career-high six batters Tuesday night in a 3-0 win over Notre Dame at Victory Field, Herrin has allowed just two earned runs in his last 21 1/3 innings spanning six appearances. He has logged the third-most innings of any IU pitcher this season.

Herrin isn’t pulling magic out of his back pocket. The tall lefty says everything is coming together at the same time. He allowed just one hit and one walk, throwing 55 of his 84 pitches for strikes.

“It’s a lot of confidence right now,” he said. “Everything felt good today. I was able to fill up the zone. I was able to pick up my fastball today, it had a lot of movement. To be able to throw that for a strike and come back with a slider with the different movement really helped me a lot.”

IU’s offense came courtesy of a two-run home run from Ryan Fineman in the sixth inning, his fifth of the season. The Hoosiers added a run in the seventh on an RBI groundout from Justin Walker that scored Scotty Bradley.

Notre Dame stranded seven runners on base, managing just four hits.

Indiana will go for its eighth straight win Wednesday against Ball State.
